statement theorem
Fibonacci numbers as sums of binomial coefficients
Statement
Let be a natural number, and let be the Fibonacci numbers. Then
Remarks
Example: . Combinatorial proof: counts the tilings of a strip of length by squares and dominoes. A tiling with dominoes has tiles, and choices fix the positions of the dominoes. In Pascal's triangle, the sum runs along a shallow diagonal.
Explanations
L1 human
Add the numbers of Pascal's triangle along the shallow diagonals, and you get the Fibonacci numbers. Each term counts the ways to tile a strip with a fixed number of dominoes.
